Austin Seriously?
Honestly you guys this is pathetic
You want to know what happened with Clay?
I’ll tell you
It was me
I’m the one who pressured him to play
Clay hurt his ankle earlier in the week in practice and was limping. I knew he was injured, everyone knew he was injured, but I’m the captain, and I wanted to beat South. I knew we needed him, so I begged him to play. All week. And he didn’t want to play. But I talked him into it. And before the game Coach Zirkusky asked Clay how he felt and he said fine, and I don’t know what Clay’s parents thought about him playing but they definitely didn’t say he couldn’t play, so the day of the game I asked him one last time and he said he was going to play. And in the first half he played great and I could tell he was hurting but it didn’t seem to be affecting his game, but then at halftime Clay came to me and said he thought he was done, the leg didn’t feel right, and I kind of went nuts. I admit it, I freaked out. I said this is gonna be the hardest game we play all year and we just needed him for one more half, he could sit the next game if it didn’t feel right, and so we got into it, yelling, and the coach came over and asked what we were fighting about, and I didn’t say anything, and Clay didn’t say anything, and the coach asked if we were ready to roll for the second half, and I looked at Clay, and he said let’s do it, and he played great but got hurt, and yeah I feel like crap about it.
So that’s what happened and it would be great if everyone would just stop talking about it.

I stare at Austin’s words, not quite understanding, then totally understanding.
I messed up, big time.
I’m supposed to find the truth, and instead, I guessed the truth.
And I guessed wrong.
I turn my phone off, turn my computer off, and bury my face in my hands.
I’m embarrassed and ashamed.
And I vow never to make the same mistake again.

Friday family dinner is a big deal in my house.
